If you’ve got a passion for all things veg – or have a loved one
with a similar inclination – look no further than this latest top 22 list of vegetarian/plant-based restaurants in Hong Kong.
1. Chi Lin Vegetarian
For a Zen experience, this peaceful Buddhist eatery nestled within
the magnificent Tang Dynasty-style landscape gardens of Nan Lian
is our favourite escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The
decor of this vegetarian restaurant, which is managed by Chi Lin
Nunnery, may be simple compared to its surroundings, but the
kitchen serves up pristine meat-free Chinese dishes. You can
even opt for a sumptuous vegetarian banquet, complete with
calming views of the cascading waterfall outside.
Long Men Lou, Nan Lian Garden, 60 Fung Tak Road, Diamond Hill
3658 9388
Hours: Mon - Fri 12:00 pm - 9:00 pm, Sat 11:30 am - 9 pm
2. Kung Tak Lam Shanghai Vegetarian Cuisine
This Northern Chinese veggie joint’s dishes are completely MSG
free, with a heavy reliance on mock meats (which explains the
popularity of the restaurant’s sweet ‘n’ sour “pork”). We’ve
enjoyed many of the healthy, guilt-free dishes on their extensive
menu – most notably the Shanghainese cold noodles, tofu
dumplings and beautifully presented cold appetiser platters.
10/F, World Trade Centre, 280 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay
(with other branches in Sha Tin andTST) 2890 3127
Hours: 11am - 11 pm daily.
3. Wild Thyme
Wild thyme brings traditional Mediterranean cuisine to Hong Kong
with a new and modern twist. They serve dishes you won’t
normally expect from a vegetarian menu like the Macaroona El
Sanyeh (spicy mac and cheese) or the shishbarak (Jordanian
dumplings served on yoghurt sauce). What also sets it apart from
other vegetarian eateries around town is that it also comes with
a fully stocked bar which is just beyond exciting.
Lee Wai Commercial Bldg, 4th Floor, 1-3 Hart Ave, Tsim Sha Tsui
2577 3662
Hours: Mon - Sun 6 pm – 11:30 pm
4. Grassroots Pantry
Peggy Chan, owner and founder of GP, has served food so good
to HK for three years, she is now needing to expand to 108
Hollywood Rd. Her commitment to serving local and sustainable
plant-based dishes is admirable, and her seasonal Asian-inspired
menu is both creative and delicious. Grassroots Pantry also
offers cooking and environmental workshops and a virtuous
catering service. The vegan, gluten free cinnamon rolls deserve
a special thumbs up (anything with almond condensed milk does),
in the same way the truffle pasta, deconstructed blueberry
cheesecake and acai bowl do.
12 Fuk Sau Lane, Sai Ying Pun
2873 3353
Hours: Sun - Sat 6:00 pm - 11:30 pm, Mon - Fri 7:00 am - 11:00 am,
11:30 am - 3:00 pm Sat - Sun 8:00 am - 3:00 pm
5. Ahisma Buffet
$58 buffet say whaaaaat?! Ahisma Buffet has been hugely popular
since it opened its doors last month as the only affordable
buffet-only vegetarian in Hong Kong. It serves meat-free,
predominantly Asian dishes, at an astonishing price of $58 for
60 minutes during lunch hours and $98 for 90 minutes at night.
Their most popular dishes are dim sum items like Turnip cake
and steamed bean curd rolls.
Shop B, G/F, Wah Hai Mansion, 10-16 Fort Street. North Point
2528 2368
Hours: Mon - Sun 12 pm – 2:30 pm, 6 pm – 9:30 pm
6. Branto
We think India serves some of the tastiest vegetarian cuisine
in the world, and Branto is an oldie-but-goodie representative
of this country’s fine meat-free fare. The basic decor is nothing
to write home about, but the food most certainly is. Unlike most
of the dumbed-down Indian cuisine around town, Branto’s dishes
are spicily authentic (and cheap as chips too). Highlights are the
Bombay-style puri snacks utilising small rounds of deep-fried
unleavened bread, dosas (thin, crispy rice-flour pancakes with
various fillings) and thalis – a little bit of everything on a
big metal plate.
1/F, 9 Lock Road, TST
2366 8171
Hours: Mon - Sun 11:00 am - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm
7. Sangeetha
Heralding from Chennai, this chain seems to be everything but
a chain. Although it has seen a worldwide fan base quickly adopt
big flavours, the warm service comes as though from a tiny Bombay
local. The East TST branch is owned by a family whose brother had
tasted this very chain's food in Dubai and was craving a worthy
alternative in Hong Kong. Our favourites are the flavoursome palak
mushroom curry (spinach and mushrooms in delicious ways you did
not think possible), the homemade Indian sweets (try the barfi)
the paper dosa which rivals the HK - Macau in length.
UG 1-5 & 31, Wing On Plaza, 62 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui; 2525 0552
Hours: Mon - Fri 10:30 am - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 10:30 pm
8. Greenwoods Raw Cafe
This local vegetarian restaurant lives well up to its name: everything
here is served raw based on the concept that raw food contains the
most nutrition. With vegan and gluten-free options made with the
freshest of ingredients, Greenwoods is a great choice for the health
conscious who live on Kowloon side. Their lunch sets are affordably
priced, beginning with their house speciality green smoothie and
leading on to creative fruit and vegetable pairings that will dispel
the notion that all healthy food tastes bad.
2 Carnavon Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
3428 2416
Hours: Mon - Fri 12:00 pm - 5:30 pm, Sat 12:00 pm - 2:30 pm
9. Leisurely Veggie
If you’re looking to satisfy both your Asian and Western vegetarian
cravings at one sitting, this new restaurant in Causeway Bay is the
place to go. They serve everything from Japanese handrolls to dim
sum to linguine, plus an extensive selection of delectable desserts
to finish. They also offer vegan and egg-free options.
25/F, Jardine Center, 50 Jardine’s Bazaar, Causeway Bay
3565 6393
Hours: Mon - Sun 11:30 am – 4:30 pm, 6:00 pm – 10:30 pm
10. Isoya Japanese Restaurant
Being vegetarian and loving Japanese food isn't easy, but Isoya
makes it just a little less hard with their fresh and nutritious no-meat
fare. Isoya offers fixed-price lunch and dinner sets, the latter of
which features a daily keiseki according to what the chef deems best
for the day. This cute little resto is worth a try even for non-vegetarians
who are just curious food adventurers.
9/F, 83 Wan Chai Road, Wan Chai
5500 8812
Hours: Mon - Sat 12:00 pm - 2:30 pm, 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm
11. Thai Vegetarian Food
Thai Vegetarian Food serves great vegetarian Thai food that is true
to its roots, with traditional dishes such as spring rolls, curries, fried
rice and glass noodle but with a plant-based spin. All these come at
the amazingly low price range of $60 - $80.

Located in the quiet neighbourhood of Tai Hang, Veggie Spinner
is a small cafe serving up some of the freshest salads you'll ever
get your hands on. Fresh juices, soups and wraps are also on
offer for a quick and nutritious meal. The cafe is small and seats
only around ten, making takeaway a popular choice among diners.
G/F, 144 Tung Lo Wan Road, Tai Hang
2802 6126
Hours: Mon - Sun 10:00 am - 10:00 pm
13. Topiary
Enjoy veggie tapas alongside innovative cocktails at French-inspired
bar Topiary. Topiary strives to bring to guests healthy bar snacks,
very different from the greasy fare we often get with our drinks.
Hidden on the third floor of Central's Hilltop Plaza, Topiary is a
great hideout for vegetarians and veggie lovers alike.
3/F, Hilltop Plaza, 49-51 Hollywood Road, Central
2866 6485
Hours: Mon - Sat 5:00 pm - 2:00 am
14. Lock Cha Tea House
We consider this the top table of vegetarian dim sum. In a land
of overly salty, strangely textured, nutrient lacking meat-substitutes,
the refined lot at Lock Cha have reinvented this Sunday favourite
in a way that stands aside and lets the vegetables shine. The philosophy
surrounding tea has long been what made Lock Cha famous, and
this diligent attention to detail has trickled down to all of
their menu items.
The K.S. Lo Gallery, Hong Kong Park, Admiralty
2801 7177
Hours: Mon - Sun 10 am - 8 pm

vegetarian food. Their signatures include the Pure Veggie House
fried rice, stuffed hairy gourd and pan-friend abalone with pine
nuts. Their organic delights are all proudly made without MSG and
added spices, and produce is freshly cultivated from their
ecological farm.

17. O Veg
Located on the other side of the city in rustic Yuen Long, O Veg
is worth the trek for those with a passion for home grown,
sustainably sourced food. Instead of following a menu, the owner
prepares a simple 3-course menu based on the day's freshest
harvest. They're open only on Fridays and weekends - the rest
of the week devoted to farming on their 40,000 square feet
farm just minutes away from the restaurant.

This South-Indian restaurant is a well-known gem within the

menu that is consistent in quality and at a very reasonable
price range. The new Hong Kong branch is certainly not left
behind with over a hundred dishes on their menu, with the
majority of their dishes falling below a hundred dollars. If you
decide to pay a visit, be sure to order some of their dosas
which are known to be among the best in the world.

Previously Maya Cafe in Wan Chai, this little restaurant has
recently moved to Sheung Wan and is now a takeaway place
focusing on Mediterranean-style raw, vegan and gluten-free food.
On the menu are classic salads (including a Greek salad), as
well as some unusual choices such as the Raw Zoodles with
Alfredo Truffle Sauce. Another stand out choice is the 100% raw,
vegan and gluten-free truffle cheeze burger with a portobello
mushroom bun. The mushroom is marinated and then dehydrated
slightly, giving a wonderfully chewy texture which sandwiches
the truffle cheeze.
173 Des Voeux Road, Central

Hours: Mon - Sun 8 am -10 pm
22. OVOCAFE by Green Monday
Green Monday's philosophy of 'Common Good, Common Sense'
is starting to flourish in Hong Kong and as such they have now
opened two grocery stores called Green Common. The second to
open was in Nan Fung Tower, Central, which not only introduces
the world’s first plant-based megastore but also a health and
eco-lifestyle cafe. OVOCAFE serves fresh and tasty green eats to
city inhabitants, not only to satisfy the needs of vegetarians,
but also to reach out to those unfamiliar with green diet to
encourage them to taste the beauty of sustainable living. In a
pioneering move, it uses Beyond Meat on the menu which is
dubbed to be "the future of protein". This 100% plant-based
meat substitute carries the same amount of protein and nutrition
value as real meat, purportedly without sacrificing its taste,
chew or satisfaction.
Shop 1, Nan Fung Place, 173 Des Voeux Road, Central
2527 6077
Hours: Mon - Sun 11:30 am - 10 pm
